BP, cooking, healthy eating, Strictly!

 Husband's lightheadedness only lasted a day, he was fine by early evening.  He's continued to take BP readings 2x daily and they've gone up slightly, this morning it was 117/73, so he's absolutely fine in that regard, nothing to worry about.  He went off to the gym this morning and did a light workout, overseen by the trainer.

Whilst he was out, I made dog food, 5 meals of white fish, tuna, veg and brown rice which she'll have every other day, with a high quality commercial raw frozen food on the inbetween days, and cheese scones for today's and tomorrow's lunches, along with a cuppa soup.  I've also done a shopping list for tomorrow, we're going to Aldi in Taunton, we go around every 6 weeks or so as it's a 40-mile round trip.

I want to go to the library this afternoon, I've only got one unread book left and have just discovered the print is so small I'll have difficulty reading it even with my glasses on.  When I picked it up in the library I only read the plot line on the back of the book, didn't bother looking inside, I obviously should have done.

Betty's new healthy food diet is obviously suiting her, she licks her dish clean every day, hasn't had anymore sicky episodes and has lost 2 kg in weight, which I'm pleased about as she was getting a bit chunky.  For the initial few days she was protesting about having less treats - she stands in front of me, staring at me, willing me to give her more, or stands in the kitchen staring up at the shelf where her treats are kept.  I kept telling her the mind melding wasn't working 😂 but felt a bit mean not giving in to her.  She's my darling little girl and I do love her to bits.

I thought there were some really good dances in Strictly on Saturday night, I particularly liked Montell & Johannes and Aljaz & Tasha's - all the costumes and makeup were brilliant too, Halloween week is always my favourite on Strictly.  Anton & Craig's Twins costumes were laugh-out-loud hilarious!  I hope Amy is going to be alright, it'll be such a shame if she's too unwell to come back, which means her partner JB will have to get used to another professional dancer.

  1. I'm glad your husband's BP is ok. I know that dizzy feeling all too well, and it's not nice!
    Darling Betty, she knows you love her, but why no treats, Mum?🐕😭
    Yes, I've been put off books because the print is too small. I don't want to end up with a headache, or have to use a magnifier as well as my glasses!
    I don't watch Strictly, so no idea what's going on there. I have enjoyed Ludwig and the Chelsea Detective, though. I hope there's a new series of both in the offing. xx

  2. I worry about high blood pressure as well for my Hubby. I am glad Betty is enjoying the new diet.

    God bless.

  3. I do like Chris too, I enjoy his back chat and he is also a good dancer. He's a bright cookie and it's amazing how fantastically well Diane is teaching him and how well they understand each other.
